Rankings in Google UK
-
Hi there,
Can someone explain the difference between the results in Google UK - the default is 'The Web', whereas I can opt to choose 'Pages from the UK'.
My question is:
-
If I'm tracking rankings for Google United Kingdom in SEOMoz, is it tracking the results from 'Pages from the UK' or the default setting of 'The Web'?
-
Are there any statistics on how many people choose to see 'Pages from the UK'?
Thanks

You can set the seomoz rank tracking to only track from Google.co.uk if you need to.

Hi,
The difference between results from Google UK and Pages from UK is this: Google UK - The Web will display all the sites that rank in the UK no matter where the site originates from. For example - If I start a website and host it in South Africa but I receive a whole bunch of links from the UK for a term, it will be possible that my site will rank in "Google UK - The Web" for that term.
However, "Pages from UK" will only display sites that originate from the UK. So my site from South Africa wouldn't appear on these search results no matter what I do (unless I try hosing the site in the UK and I don't have country specific URL such as ".co.za".
-
I'm not 100% sure but I do believe that SEOMoz will track results from "The Web" and not "Pages from the UK".
-
I don't know of any statistics about this but my guess would be that there aren't many people choosing "Pages from the UK" compared to "The Web". (Please try confirm this though)
I hope this helps!

Hi Columbus,
I believe that the difference between the two search results is that the first one is a hybrid search (global with a high local search influence - Google Update "Venice") while the second one is pure local.
From GWMT you can set up where you want to target your website. Now if you have picked US instead of UK, that you eliminate yourself from the Search Results which show results only from the UK.
I hope it helped,
Istvan

Is a new website the only way to get better rankings?
Our website is https://www.franklin-bell.com.au. For a while now we've been trying to get a few of our pages on there to get a better rank on google. A local SEO agency told us that some of our pages are not like "the modern standard" for web pages, but our page score for the keywords we want is 90% and higher. Do we really need to completely rebuild the website (it was built in 2014) in order to get better rankings? Or is it sufficient to have the 97% page score and then just get some back links and social media referrals etc. Thanks in advance.

Exporting ranking stats; errors
previously, when I went to export the weekly rank stats, the csv opened into excel and everything was fine. This week, one campaign data will not export other than purely in comma deliniated and will not translate to colums in ecel. A second campaign does export directly to excel but the data showing (on 27th June) is for the 22 february (report created march 1). so all my spread sheets for position analysis are up the creek and I cant even get last weeks positional report on my key domain. any thoughts??

Ranking better
Hello there, I am after some specific guidance on how to rank well for the keyword ‘Translation Services’. I have managed to get the site www.pstranslation.co.uk to page 2 of google UK for this key term. The difficulty is I seem to have run out of steam now on how to get higher rankings. After spending a considerable amount of time creating content and gaining links I managed to get the site from around page 15 on google uk to page 4 then to page 2. That’s where it seems to have stopped. I (think I) have got the onsite SEO pretty well nailed. I have got some good linkable content (http://www.pstranslation.co.uk/infog_languages.html,http://www.pstranslation.co.uk/language_resources_indus.html) and have plans to produce a more. Experience working within the language industry tells me that a top 3 position on page 1 for this keyword can very lucrative so my main focus of SEO is to rank well for this key phrase. There is a very good chance you reply will simply be get more (better) links and if it is that’s fine but is there anything else I can do? Am I missing a very obvious trick anywhere? Looking forward to your reply.
